[Young Filmmakers Academy]

Young Filmmakers Academy's  8 Week Film School is a comprehensive film
studies program specifically designed for kids and teens ages 10-17. Movies
are an important part of our lives and more and more kids are becoming
interested in how they are made. YFA's eight week program is designed to
give your child a crash course in how to create professional movies from
start to finish. From screenwriting to lighting and sound, to camera work
to editing, YFA's award winning instructors will guide your child through
the creative process and onto a journey of artistic expression using the
cinematic arts.

*WHAT'S INCLUDED? *

YFA's 8 Week Film School covers the following topics...

*WEEK ONE*

FILM SCHOOL OVERVIEW
Making movies is fun! But like any other area of study, you need to know
the history of the subject before you can be an expert yourself. Week One
will focus on the basics of filmmaking and crew positions. We all think we
know what the director does, but ever wonder what in the world a gaffer
does? How about a set designer or grip?

Students will analyze film through an examination of cinematography,
editing, acting, scenes, and sound to allow students to view films
critically. The class is a fun way to introduce the young filmmaker to the
medium.

*WEEK TWO*

SCREENWRITING

The first step of any great movie is a great script. Writing for the screen
is a different skill set than other forms of writing, and this class will
focus on how to structure a great story within that format. Focuses will
include how to craft a compelling plot/story/theme, how to properly format
a script by industry standards, and how to use language in a script that
conveys your ideas to a director, producer, or cinematographer. Your
journey to becoming a screenwriter starts here.

*WEEKS THREE, FOUR AND FIVE & SIX*

DIRECTING AND CINEMATOGRAPHY
Lights, camera, action! This portion of the course focuses on the
responsibilities and workflow of the film and television director and crew,
from pre-production through post-production. Students will use cameras,
learn about casting, editing, lighting and other responsibilities of a
crew. Students will study and analyze a previously produced film scene and
then learn how to create a shot for shot remake of the scene and learn
through comparison exactly what goes into producing a real Hollywood movie
(minus the million dollar budget.)

*WEEKS SEVEN AND EIGHT*

EDITING
When the director yells cut for the last time and shooting has wrapped,
some say the real work begins. Every great movie is only as good as its
editor. This part of the course will teach the basics of video editing
using state of the art software. From learning the software, the lingo, the
basic concepts of editing to, adding music, special effects and filters,
your child will learn how to take raw footage and turn it into a cinematic
masterpiece ready for YouTube or the big screen. Students will edit the
final version of the film to be uploaded for online screening.

*WHEN AND WHERE ARE CLASSES HELD?*

Winter Session: November 1 through December 20 classes will be held every
Tuesday night from 6pm-8pm in our Lakewood studio located at 15022 Madison
Avenue.

*HOW MUCH DO CLASSES COST? *

Classes are $275.00 per child for the 8 week program. The cost of the class
includes the coursework, access to state of the art equipment and software
as well as all other supplies and materials. Your child need only show up
with their passion and creativity. Inspiration from our award winning
instructors is included at no extra charg
